Cardiff Half Marathon

£621

RAISED

Ellen Seagan completed the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise money for PHA UK after her mum Joanne underwent surgery for PH in 2015. Ellen said: “It was my first ever half marathon so I was quite nervous on the morning of the run but it was a beautiful day and the crowds were amazing. My mum came to cheer me on and every mile was worth it for her.”

Moondance Ball for Will Julie Turner organised the third annual summer ball in Emsworth, Hampshire, to raise money for PHA UK in memory of Will Acres who passed away aged just 22. Julie said: “We had 300 people attend a fabulous black tie picnic with live music and a charity raffle. We managed to raise over £3,000 which we hope will go towards further research and support for people with PH.”

Taking to the skies

Lily Nash from Dartford in Kent completed a skydive at Headcorn Aerodrome in memory of her cousin Lucy Clarke. Lily said: “I couldn't be more proud of myself for actually going up 12,000ft to jump out of a plane! I wouldn't change it for the world, it was an amazing experience and I enjoyed every part of it knowing that I had raised money for PHA UK in Lucy’s memory.”
